Observation of the rare baryonic decay $B^{+} \rightarrow p \bar{\Lambda}$ and measurement of its weak decay parameter / LHCb Collaboration
The first observation of the decay $B^{+} \rightarrow p \bar{\Lambda}$ is presented, using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment between 2016 and 2018 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $5.4fb{-1}$. The signal significance exceeds seven standard deviations. [...]

A model-independent measurement of the CKM angle $\gamma$ in the decays $B^\pm\to[K^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-]_D h^\pm$ and $B^\pm\to[\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-]_D h^\pm$ ($h = K, \pi$) / LHCb Collaboration
A model-independent determination of the CKM angle $\gamma$ is presented, using the $B^\pm\to[K^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-]_D h^\pm$ and $B^\pm\to[\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-]_D h^\pm$ decays, with $h=K,\pi$. This measurement is the first phase-space-binned study of these decay modes, and uses a sample of proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9$fb$^{-1}$ [...]

Inclusive $B$-meson flavour-tagging algorithm at LHCb / LHCb Collaboration
A new algorithm is developed to identify the flavour of neutral $B$ mesons at production in $pp$ collisions by utilising all tracks from the hadronisation process. The algorithm is calibrated separately for $B^0$ and $B^{0}_{s}$ mesons using $B^{0}\to J/\psi K^{+}\pi^-$ and $B^{0}_{s}\to D_{s}^{-}\pi^+$ decays from $pp$ collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of 13\,TeV.

Improved measurement of $\eta / \eta^{\prime}$ mixing in $B^{0}_{(s)} \rightarrow J/\psi \eta^{(\prime)}$ decays / LHCb Collaboration

The measured ratios of these branching fractions are \[ \frac{BF(B^{0} \rightarrow J/\psi \eta^{\prime})}{BF(B^{0} \rightarrow J/\psi \eta)} = 0.48 \pm 0.06 \pm 0.02 \pm 0.01, \] \[\frac{BF(B^{0}_{s} \rightarrow J/\psi \eta^{\prime})}{BF(B^{0}_{s} \rightarrow J/\psi \eta)} = 0.80 \pm 0.02 \pm 0.02 \pm 0.01, \] where the uncertainties are statistical, systematic and related to the precision of the $\eta^{(\prime)}$ branching fractions, respectively.
